Texas Living

I keep on telling people that we just moved here, to Cibolo, Texas. Of course it will be a year in the end of November! There are lots of things to do here that we haven't even got around to doing!

My favorite place to go is Landa Park. It's just this HUGE park with lots of paths for riding bikes and roller blades, trees for climbing and animals to feed! The fam and I like to go feed the ducks and we just took a trip there the other day with this HUGE bag of bread that I had been saving just for such a trip. We started feeding breaking off pieces of bread to give to the ducks and geese and these huge rat looking things came over for some too!! They are called Kapevara (or however you spell that word) and it wasn't long before a whole family had come over to partake of some stale bread. Momma, pappy and wee little baby! Of course we were all fascinated by the ugly ROUS's (Rodents of Unusual Size) and weren't feeding the other beggars at the river. The Geese just could not have this!! The started getting ticked! They started to surround us and snap at us!! Emma and Christopher were the first to get bit. Chris was squealing and laughing. Emma didn't know just what to think. She just looked at it, in the eye, and it decided to go for an easier target that actually had a piece of bread.... Kassie! Poor little Kassie saw it coming for her and she started screaming and bawling at the same time!! Of course this set me into a panic!! I told her, "Drop the bread and run!!" and she immediately obeyed! After that little near maiming experience, we fled from the river banks!

We walked on the path to the DANCE FLOOR. It's just a slab of cement that had a stage for the band and Kassie calmed the hysterics after awhile and everybody had fun making "plays" on the stage and riding their bikes/rip stick around the dance floor. It was a pretty fun day!!
